The Aesthetics and Laser Center at Hillcrest, offers innovative laser technologies that provide various treatments including hair reduction, photo rejuvenation, spider vein and acne treatment. Our Smoothbeam and YAG lasers cover twice as much skin surface area which means that your procedure time will be significantly reduced.  Most treatments, from the time you fill out the paperwork to the time you walk out the door, can be taken care of in as little as 45 minutes.   

Experience the latest in aesthetic advances in a professional medical setting.  Our laser technologies are used for:   
 
Acne Treatment: A treatment regimen for both teens and adults, our laser therapies will achieve impressive results on any body area suffering from acne. By targeting the layer of skin where the oil glands reside, the Smoothbeam laser shrinks them to prevent further outbreak.  Results are accomplished without the aid of aggressive medications or prolonged antibiotics. 

Hair Reduction: An alternative to painful waxing, plucking or electrolysis, laser therapy can leave you feeling smooth and silky in as little as four to six visits.  The beams attack multiple follicles, rather than one at a time, providing for more efficient, comfortable and affordable treatments. 

Photo Rejuvenation: This is the only procedure that can treat redness, skin discoloration, skin texture, sun damage and collagen structure all at once.  Kiss those broken capillaries, blotchy skin tone, wrinkles and enlarged pores goodbye!  Photo rejuvenation can achieve dramatic improvements with minimal recovery time and discomfort. It begins to stimulate collagen production to reduce fine lines and wrinkles after the first treatment. Visible results will appear after two to six treatments.

Spider Vein Treatment:  Spider veins are often red or blue, and are most often found close to the surface of the skin on the legs, back and face. YAG laser energy causes these veins to shrink and then disappear. Laser therapy is most effective on those spider veins that are less than 3 millimeters wide.  It should not be used for the treatment of larger varicose veins.  You will see results after one to two treatments.

Botox Cosmetic is a quick, minimally invasive procedure that softens moderate to severe frown lines between your brows and forehead. Your doctor will make a few tiny injections, with minimal discomfort, into the muscles. No anesthesia is required, although the area may be numbed with a cold pack or topical anesthetic prior to injection. The procedure takes about 20 minutes and there is no down time afterwards.

 

VelaSmooth treatments for cellulite use a combination of Bi-Polar Radio Frequency and light energies, plus gentle suction and massage to give skin a smoother appearance. It can precisely target problem areas. Treatments feel similar to an intense, heated deep tissue massage.

 

Microdermabrasion Treatment gently exfoliates the outer most layer of the epidermis revealing the younger, fresher skin underneath. This process tends to stimulate blood flow closer to the skin’s surface and the production of new skin cells. A healthy skin tone and smoother skin are evident with just one treatment but expect maximum benefits after six treatments. After microdermabrasion, products can better penetrate the skin.

 

Micro Peel is a rejuvenating peel that helps refine the skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines. Based on a combination of natural marine and herbal ingredients, this peel invigorates, lifts and firms the skin and helps to diminish the look of age spots and discoloration. This procedure reveals smoother, softer, brighter skin.

 

Obagi NuDerm Products As your skin ages, the turnover of skin cells slows significantly, throwing off the balance between the growth of healthy new skin cells and the sloughing off of old damaged skin cells. Collagen and elastinbegin to slowly break down, causing the skin to lose its resilience, resulting in fine lines, wrinkles and sagging. Daily exposure to UV light accelerates this aging process and causes uneven pigmentation.

 

The Obagi Nu-Derm system penetrates below the skin’s surface, transforming skin cell functions at the cellular level and correcting the damage within your skin. This prescription-based system triggers a therapeutic cascade that makes your skin look and act younger and healthier. Say goodbye to age spots, uneven texture and sagging skin with Obagi.

 

CLENZIderm M.D. Acne Therapeutic System Finally, there’s a prescription-strength solution that targets the primary causes of acne to quickly diminish breakouts and help you maintain a clear, healthy complexion day after day. CLENZIderm is the only physician-dispensed acne treatment with a liquid form of benzoyl peroxide that’s clinically proven to provide clearer, healthier skin in as little as two weeks. In tests against other acne treatments, which seem to lose their effectiveness after a few months, Clenziderm M.D. has proven efficacy.
